This crisp American-style Wheat beer is a perfect summer day refreshment while or after paddling and portaging a canoe. Of course, it's still refreshing any time of the year while doing almost anything! Clean and refreshing was all we had in mind for this recipe, which finishes crisp with minimal esters - free from German-style bubble-gum or clove flavors and aromas.
Ingredients: 5 lbs. Domestic 2-Row barley, 4 lbs. White Wheat, 1/2 lb. CaraVienne, 1/2 lb. Carapils®, 1 oz. Sterling, 1 oz. Palisade® pellet hops, priming sugar, and yeast.

Product Instructions

Its a fast to make lighter beer. Its a good beer to have when you want to have a few while watching a game. It's not too heavy or alcoholic and tastes good._x000D_I use a standard 2/2/2 schedule without nay problems.

I like wheat beers year round and don't limit them to just the summer._x000D_The kit has a nice balanced profile, not overly fragrant, and is an easy to drink beer for the evening after work. I tried both liquid and dry yeast and prefer the Hefeweizen liquid yeast.

My first all grain brew and I'm pleased with the result. Ended up having to ferment it at higher temperatures so it had some fruity flavors which mellowed out over time. Beers were excellent 3-4 weeks after bottling.

After a hard day's work,was great to have a few of these in frosty mug!_x000D_Nice and light with a more enjoyable taste than a hefe._x000D_I will definately brew this again,especially to have on hand this summer

This is the second wheat beer I've brewed. This one is a lot better than the other one. This is a very clean, crisp wheat ale. I used the Wyeast smack pack, and followed the kit recipe exactly. The mouth feel is a bit heavier than a non-wheat pale ale, which I like, and it's not bitter. This was popular with my friends.

This was my first summer wheat beer and i put Vintage Harvest Fruit Peach Puree in the secondary. The beer had a great kick and a mild hint of peach flavor. It went down easily and was a crowd favorite. I plan to brew this again for the upcoming summer but will try adding a different flavor for a new change.

I liked this recipe a lot. I am not a usually a huge fan of wheat beers but I really liked this beer. It was a great beer to drink sitting on the lake in July. It was the first all grain batch I brewed and it had a great hop flavor that I feel is not normally found in a wheat beer.

Nice fresh wheat taste, its really enjoyable during the summer. I can toss back a few of these any time. It's nice and light with good flavor, and I enjoy it more than some of the other types of wheat beers like Hefeweizen.

Just brewed this batch a few days ago and the grains smelled amazing while steeping and the hops really complement the brew! The grains were fresh and the yeast was shipped in a separate envelope with a ice pack to keep it viable. I will definitely brew this one again!

A lighter and refreshing taste, I like to have a couple of these now and then. 1 week primary, 2 weeks in secondary then after 3 weeks in bottles. It came out darker than I expected. I used the wyeast option which was great.

BEST ANSWER:All-Grain brewing does require some equipment to do it properly. At a minimum, you'd need a large kettle ( 8-10 gallons ) and a heat source, and a large mesh bag, and the kit could be brewed "BIAB" style. Once the brewing process is done, you could use some of the same gear you had used for wine for the fermenting and siphoning, etc. "Extract" brewing is easier for starting out, and could be done in a smaller kettle, and is where most brewers begin. If you do want to try BIAB, ( Brew-In-A-Bag ) I suggest checking out sites like BIABbrewing.com, and using the calculators there to help with the planning and brewing process. -Mike W, Midwest Supplies
